ETHYL BROMOACETATE (for synthesis) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This ETHYL BROMOACETATE is meant for synthesis. This is the ethyl ester of bromoacetic acid. The reagent is insoluble in water. Ethyl bromoacetate is prepared in two steps from acetic acid. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Ethyl bromoacetate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors:

This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives.

Ethyl bromoacetate was once utilized as a lachrymatory agent and tear gas agent for chemical warfare.

It is additionally a versatile alkylating agent, and is used in the Reformatsky reaction.

Ethyl bromoacetate is further used to prepare alpha, beta-unsaturated esters from carbonyl compounds such as benzaldehyde.

This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
